Chapter 165 Chapter 165 1st update
Su Jingnian felt that he and Cui Jianzhong probably had some inexplicable fate.
Cui Jianzhong returned to China to look for someone, but he didn't find her, but he helped him find his niece. He returned to China to visit his relatives and had a feast, but he helped Cui Jianzhong find Lin Yufei.
In fact, Lin Yufei did not leave her hometown, nor did she die young. She just had a fire at home, and then moved to another place, and got into feudal superstition, and the whole family changed their names.
China's household registration system was not started until 1958. Lin Yufei's family changed their names before that, and when they re-registered, they already had new names. In addition, the archives and data of different places were not interoperable at that time, and the data was lost. Therefore, Cui Jianzhong and Lin Yufei missed each other by accident.
When she heard that Cui Jianzhong was looking for her, the old lady was shocked and burst into tears: "I thought, I thought he was gone."
After they were separated, she went back to the capital with great difficulty and waited for several years in the capital. Later, their mutual friend brought his "relics" to the capital, saying that they encountered an air raid on the way and did not find him, but only found half of a piece of shredded clothes.
The clothes were sewn by her own hands, and she recognized it at a glance.
After a long period of tears, she finally had to accept the fact that the person was gone.
Later, a fire burned everything, and the tattered clothes, photos, and letter paper that were carefully stored were all gone.
As the days passed, people gradually grew older. Sometimes, when they woke up in the middle of the night, they would think of the person in their memory, and even feel a little dazed and could not remember what that person looked like.
Unexpectedly, after decades, the person was still alive.
That night, Su Jingnian called Cui Jianzhong. Cui Jianzhong, who was eating breakfast, dropped his chopsticks on the table with a "click". He covered his eyes with his wrinkled hands, and tears slowly fell from the gaps.
"Old Cui, come back."
Cui Jianzhong responded with a choked voice.
Cui Jianzhong came very quickly. It is said that he was originally planning to go to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for inspection, and the formalities had already been completed.
The two old people met at Shen Moer's house. The scene was quite sad at first, but Xiao Liangliang interrupted the conversation and the sad atmosphere disappeared. Moreover, Lin Yufei and Cui Jianzhong were actually quite individualistic people and did not indulge in sentimentality.
After several decades of twists and turns, neither of them got married and had children. After the reunion, they did not want to waste time and soon began to discuss and prepare for the wedding.
Cui Jianzhong himself ran a garment factory, but Lin Yufei wanted to customize Chinese-style dresses, which Cui Jianzhong's factory could not produce. Of course, even if it could, the nearest factory was in Shenzhen, which was not convenient.
In the end, Shen Moer took on the task.
Since the past two years, Huacai Garment Factory has established a sample working group and selected a group of masters with particularly excellent craftsmanship to specialize in making ready-made garment samples. This group of people not only make ready-made garment samples, but also have been learning embroidery, and occasionally undertake some particularly delicate "private customization". The fact that
Huacai Garment Factory has such a working group is not known to people outside, and even the people in the factory may not know it.
I know that there is a group specializing in making samples, but I also thought it was the same as other factories, just picking a few people with slightly better craftsmanship to make the first batch of clothes.
When the clothes were finished and sent to Lin Yufei and Cui Jianzhong, Lin Yufei was very satisfied.
"Whether it is the fabric or the craftsmanship, it is exactly the same as what I saw at my cousin's house when I was a child." Lin Yufei stroked the delicate embroidery on the fabric.
Her cousin's family was a royal family of the previous dynasty. When she got married, her wedding dress and daily clothes were all sewed by an old lady who had worked as an embroiderer in the palace. The smooth fabric and intricate patterns were deeply imprinted in her memory.
Shen Moer smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
The fabric was bought from Jiangsu Province, and it was the best silk. As for the embroidery craftsmanship, it was originally produced by the royal family. The details of the Daliang royal family or the Daqing royal family may be slightly different, but the overall style of dignity and grandeur is the same.
Cui Jianzhong looked at Lin Yufei with a gentle look for a while: "It's really beautiful."
Lin Yufei smiled: "Of course, I am a beautiful old lady. Wearing this beautiful dress, I will naturally look even better."
Cui Jianzhong was not to be outdone: "Then I am also a beautiful old man."
The two old children argued for a while and happily put away the clothes.
Cui Jianzhong sent the person out the door and said as he walked: "This time I owe you a favor. When your factory wants to expand overseas markets, tell me and I will help you build a bridge." He
was talking about the favor of helping to make the dress.
The favor of helping to find someone is not something that can be easily repaid. Anyway, the two families live close to each other, and they can interact like relatives in the future, so there is no need to repay this favor.
Shen Moer understood what he meant and smiled, "You will have to repay this favor soon."
Cui Jianzhong reached out and tapped her, sighing, "You are really young!"
The tide of the times surged. If he was 20 years younger, he might still have the courage to ride the wind and waves. Now, he just wants to enjoy his old age and cherish the little time left.
In early June, when the sun was shining, Cui Jianzhong and Lin Yufei held their wedding.
The wedding was simple and grand, especially the dresses worn by the two elderly people, which were solemn and elegant, exquisite and beautiful. Not only the older generation of similar age liked them, but also the young people liked them very much. Everyone was shocked to learn that they were made by Huacai Garment Factory.
Even though Huacai Garment Factory has become more and more famous in the capital in recent years, they have always been famous for their fashionable styles. When it comes to the quality and grade of clothes, many people still trust the old-fashioned Capital No. 1 and No. 2 Garment Factory.
In everyone's mind, Capital No. 1 and No. 2 Garment Factory are the real state-owned factories and are old brands that have gone through the sedimentation of history. However
, this dress made many people feel "re-examined".
This kind of old traditional dress is the most difficult to make. Fabrics and craftsmanship are one aspect, but the most important thing is inheritance. Some patterns and embroidery methods cannot be made without inheritance.
Huacai Garment Factory is not only fashionable in style, but also has a heritage!
In fact, everyone in Yongning Hutong who had "privately customized" ready-made clothes at Huacai Garment Factory knew about this, but before, "private customization" was limited to a small number of friends and relatives, and neighbors. This was to provide convenience to familiar people, and in fact, it was also to give more practice to the sample work group.
After two years of development, the sample work group has gradually matured, and Shen Moer is willing to expand production a little bit, so she can send a signal to the outside world through this opportunity.
Su Jingnian was originally going to return to the United States after the inspection, but because of Cui Jianzhong's wedding, he simply went through the formalities and the family stayed for more than half a month.
At the banquet, Yang Qian listened to everyone praising Huacai Garment Factory, and couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly, got up and left the banquet hall.
The bathroom on the second floor was being cleaned, and Yang Qian frowned and went to the first floor. When she came out of the bathroom, she heard a quarrel coming from the door. She didn't care at first, and only cursed in her heart "uncultured Chinese, country bumpkins", but suddenly heard something, she paused and walked over.
A comrade from the hotel security department stopped a couple and said earnestly: "This is a place for us to eat and they are having a wedding banquet. Aren't you deliberately looking for trouble? I also know that it is not easy for you to come here from afar. Otherwise, if you come to my house to make trouble, I will take you directly to the police station."
The thin woman with a dark complexion said in a shrill voice: "What's the problem with me looking for my own daughter? The people in their factory said she was here. Why are you stopping us? My daughter works at the Huacai Garment Factory. My daughter is a top student at Capital University. She went to work at the Huacai Garment Factory. Tell me, as a mother, I am worried about her. I came all the way from... We came all the way from Jiangsu Province to the capital, why don’t you let us in? !”
The comrade from the Security Department said: “…Of course it’s okay for you to find your daughter-in-law, but we’re having a wedding banquet here today. The host family is from abroad, and they are very particular. No one without an invitation will be allowed in. Since you’ve come all the way here, it doesn’t matter if you wait a little longer, find a place to wait.”
The gloomy man said: “She’s hiding from us. She’s obviously working at that Huacai. We went to the factory to look for her, but the guard always made excuses saying she wasn’t there. She’s in there today, so let’s go in and look for her if we don’t want to cause trouble.”
The comrade from the Security Department said: “…”
You don’t look like you’re not going to cause trouble!
The two sides were in a stalemate when a young woman with brown curly hair came over. She was wearing high heels and had a slightly proud look on her face. She glanced at the couple with disdain and asked, "Who are you looking for at Huacai Garment Factory?"
The woman with a dark face said hurriedly, "We are looking for Wang Sanchun, she is our daughter, the head of the General Department of Huacai Garment Factory. By the way, she is also They are the classmates of the factory director Shen Moer! It was Shen Moer who tricked my daughter into working for her. Otherwise, with my daughter’s education, she would have been admitted to the provincial government after returning to Jiangsu Province!”
Yang Qian’s eyes flashed, and she hesitated for a few seconds, then said: “It’s just looking for someone, it’s not a big deal, let them in.”
The comrade from the Security Department hesitated: “They don’t have an invitation, and…” It’s obvious that they are here to cause trouble.
Yang Qian waved her hand: “Uncle Cui won’t mind.”
Su Jingnian and Cui Jianzhong knew each other when they were in the United States. Yang Qian had met Cui Jianzhong several times before and knew that although he had a bit of a weird temper, he was actually more tolerant of the younger generation.
Besides, even if it was embarrassing for these two people to go in, it would be Shen Moer's face. Cui Jianzhong should be angry with Shen Moer, what does it have to do with her?
The comrade from the Security Department heard the other party's stiff Chinese and guessed that the other party was a relative of the groom. He thought that since the relatives and friends of the host family also said so, maybe people who came back from abroad have different ideas from people in the country? The
comrade from the Security Department hesitated, and the couple took the opportunity to squeeze in. Yang Qian pointed casually and let them go and find it themselves.
She rolled her eyes and walked towards the sofa in the corner of the first floor.
Sit for a while and go back when there is a commotion upstairs to avoid being discovered that she was the one who let them in.
Second floor, the entrance to the main banquet hall.
Xiao Liangliang grabbed her mother's hand: "Mom, hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!"
Shen Moer laughed: "Okay, okay, let's hurry up."
Today, the children were at their own table and had a lot of fun. The little guy took the opportunity to secretly drink a lot of soda. He couldn't hold it anymore and ran to find his mother.
As soon as she walked out of the banquet hall, Shen Moer saw two people looking at the door: "Is it here? Why is it so big in here? There must be at least dozens of tables. It's just a waste of money! If our Xiaochun can also arrange such a grand banquet in the future, I will die with my eyes closed!"
"You can't be so grand. The state-owned hotel near our house should have at least a dozen tables, right? As long as you get that dead girl's job to Xiaochun, Xiaochun will definitely find a good partner. Find a rich partner, preferably one without brothers. Then, won't everything belong to our Xiaochun in the future? Nowadays, it's easy for men with good jobs and good conditions to find partners..."
Shen Moer covered the girl's ears, picked her up, and walked quickly. She walked to the food preparation room at the end of the corridor and called out to all the waiters inside: "You, go downstairs and come up from the other side now, and surround them. Go over this way, take a plate and pretend to deliver food, block the road first and then lead them out. No matter what method you use, subdue them first and find an empty room to lock them up."
After a slight pause, she said: "It's done, each of you will get a 50 yuan red envelope."
The eyes of several waiters immediately lit up.
